Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan

Waiter, I'll have the Kobayashi Maru

Now Playing Podcast continues the Star Trek Retrospective Series with Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, the sequel often credited with radically changing the course of the franchise. Trading the slow, meditative approach of the first film for sharper pacing, higher stakes, and a personal vendetta, this entry pits Admiral Kirk against his most formidable enemy yet. Does The Wrath of Khan breathe new life into a series that struggled on the big screen, or does it still drift cold and distant like deep space? The hosts dig into the characters, the action, and whether this sequel finally delivers the cinematic Star Trek adventure audiences were hoping for.
